Be brave and it is always good to be with husband. Entire world is your country and just take a flight with your kid. No second thoughts.

My nephew who was 8 years, went all alone from Dubai to Hidelberg. We at Bangalore were astonished, because here no one has alighted a plane. Of course at the airport, the family friends picked him at the airport. There in the Hidelberg University, there is Indian Professor for Sanskrit Studies Mr.Aithal. If you get opportunity you meet him and you can learn wonderful oldest language of the world, Sanskrit. Thanks for invitation and very kind of you.

Put your child first. Stay where you are. Moving your child away is so unfair on the child, travelling at that age is not good for it and you really need support from your family with a child that young. I hope that you work out a solutionthat works for everyone, but please put your baby first.

How is putting her child first and staying put going to help? She needs to put her marriage FIRST, for the sake of her child.

as of lately, my husband and i arent getting along like we should be, this makes me even more confused on whether i should go or not, we both have myspace accounts, he has been talking to his ex girlfriend and commented on one of the pictures that she was hot, if i try to brng this up he just wont talk to me anymore,last time i confronted him with a problem (his drinking problem) he flipped and told me to go find someone else, the military has changed him, what should i o, i am more confused than ever now.

Sounds like a difficult position to be in. I hope you both can overcome this. It seems like by ignoring the situation it can only get worse, be brave, struggle through his attempts to put you off or 'push you away' as they'll be issues below the attempt to push you away.

Absolutely you should go. It is important to your family unit, you, your husband and baby to be together as much as possible at this time. Germany is a beautiful country and you will have the time of your life there. I would be there in a heartbeat. What country do you live in now and how long is your husband away for? What part of Germany is he in.

If I was you, I would go. Only because if that was my husband and he was moving and needed me, I would go. As for your family, you can always keep in touch by phone or mail and you can always see them later, or visit. If your family loves you, they will understand. And as for your baby, who knows maybe your baby might like germany. Its nice to try new places expecially when you are given the opportunity!

I had a frienbd in the same situation. My suggestion is to noit move to Germany until he has time to settle in and can come back to get you on leave. It is a huge headache to travel with the military, even without a baby. My friend ended up coming back to the states because her husband was always training and she was home alone with their daughter (who was just over flying age when they went over). How long is he stationed in Germany for?

Perhaps instead of flying out to 'move' there perhaps you could fly out to visit him or stay for alittle,, if the case maybe leaving your child with the family, if you feel comfortable move over there?

That`s a tough choice, I understand. a lot of people have husbands and sons stationed in the army and are having a hard time deal with it, but I don`t think it would be a good idea to move to Germany.

germany is a nice place.my dad was posted to wildenwrath when we where kids.but i think before going that far away you need to sort out your relationship first as i know the service men wifes stick together but so do the men you could end up a long way from home with no one to turn to
